Kimberly, Wis. - Curious Collection offers one of the industry's most environmentally-friendly line-ups of premium fine papers. Four Curious Metallics' colors contain 100% post-consumer recovered fiber and Green Power is a standard feature for the Metallics, Translucents, Skin, and Particles lines. In addition, these products are Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified.

CuriousPapers.com, the North American Curious Collection website, has added a new Environmental Savings Calculator to help creative professionals understand and manage their paper choices. Designed specifically for products in the Collection, the calculator allows up to four products to be simultaneously compared for environmental savings in the areas of trees, water, energy, solid waste, and greenhouse gas emissions.

"The updated Curious Collection offering and Environmental Calculator allows customers to communicate the difference they make when choosing environmentally-responsible papers," says Phil Cavalier, vice president of marketing at Appleton Coated.
